The relevance of the statement "Remind yourself...nobody is built like you, you have designed yourself. " in today's globally competitive environment where skills are changing and jobs are evolving is that a person; given a certain situation or a certain job, may be able to adapt easily and embrace the work or situation he is given and is able to make the most out of it.

With this in mind, an individual is already different in his own way. But he still has the option to step out of his comfort zone and aim high while grabbing opportunities to "design" himself.
